What are your feelings on amassing a lot of useless possessions through life?

As a youngster, I collected books and related items on a certain subject, which have never even been unpacked since I moved into my current home touching five years ago. Have you ever disowned very personal items ,and did you do it easily ?

I am decluttering my life slowly. But I consult my kids before disposing on anything, offering them first option to take it. My one previously prized possession was a stamp collection I worked on as a teenager. It had some face value, which I put into it. But no one collects stamps any more. I sold it to a dealer for pennies and didnt look back..😷
